We need to be properly hydrated. Our skin is an organ, and just like any other organ in the body, it requires water to function properly. Dehydration causes the skin to become dry, flaky and tight, so I made it my mission to increase my water consumption.
It was during this “water bender” as I like to call it, that I discovered fruit-infused detox water. I’m one of those weird people who actually enjoys the taste of plain water, but I liked the idea of adding various ingredients that might help with improving the appearance of my skin.
If you should be drinking more water and don’t like the taste of water or find it boring, then you’ll love these fruit–infused water recipes.
Fruit-infused water is a great way to naturally flavor water without adding chemical-laden artificial sweeteners and avoid drinking your calories as explained in point #4 of the 11 Weight Loss Don’ts.
How to Naturally Flavor Water
The best and most convenient way to naturally flavor water is by using a fresh fruit infused water bottle.
Fruit infuser water bottles are a convenient way to flavor water naturally and have delicious, healthy fruit infused water handy all day. I love this infusion water bottle because it has so many features that I’ve been unable to find in other infusion water bottles (and trust me, I’ve tried quite a few!)
In addition to being BPA-free, the brimma infuser is removable and it includes a safety latch so you don’t spill water everywhere. It fits into most sized cup holders (if you’re a mom, you know how annoying it is when you can’t fit your drink the stroller cup holder!)

Note – for maximum flavor and nutritional benefits, it’s recommended that you allow 1 hour for the ingredients to infuse. However, it’s fine if you don’t have the time to wait!
